Azealia Banks and Angel Daze have been having a twittter war when gossip Monsignor Perez Hilton stuck his nose in the middle. Banks called him a little faggot and here is how Scissor Sisters lead singer Jake Shears responded: ""Oh yeah. "Faggot." Totally cool. Give me a fucking break. It all about context. And right now, I'm sorry, but context is not on your side."Donna Summer was ostracized for a decade from words she used about her gay fans. Too bad she didn't have twitter to recant them immediately."
OK, let's start at the top. Donna Summer was NOT calling someone she was arguing with a fag, she was a born again Christian announcing her hatred for her primary audience. Are you kidding me Shears? Do you really see the slightest moral equivalency here?
Banks may well be a homophobe, but this doesn't prove anything of the sort. Remember last year when everybody was calling Odd Future gay haters? That was before Frank Ocean came out of course. I mean really, it is completely obnoxious and ridiculous. When you fight with people, you often go with the place where they are in the minority. Carrot head or four eyes. It isn't logical but just because you call somebody with glasses a four eyed freak does not mean you hate all people with glasses.
Shears should really know the difference between one and the other, as a very public homosexual surely he has a duty to be more foresighted and calm. Banks is having her record contract threatened because of this nonsense. It is an embarrassment and an insult to homosexuals to fiund hatred where it most certainly isn't.
